This seminar is a continuation of the seminar ( Completely Integrable System I) held online in SS2021 at KIT. We propose to continue with Arnold’s well-known book 1 on the mathematical methods on classical mechanics.
We will begin with a review talk on the materials covered in SS2021
0. Newtonian mechanics and Lagrangian mechanics (Sections 1-21 1)
and propose the following topics:
1. Linearization and small oscillations. (Sections 22-23 1)
2. Characteristic frequencies and parametric resonance. (Sections 24-25 1)
3. Inertial forces and Coriolis force. (Sections 26-27 1)
4. Rigid bodies. (Sections 28-29 1)
5. Lagrange’s top. (Sections 30-31 1)
6. Exterior forms and differential forms. (Sections 32-34 1)
7. Exterior differentiation. (Sections 35-36 1)
8. Symplectic structure and Lie algebra. (Sections 37-40 1)
9. Symplectic geometry. (Sections 41-43 1)
10. Integral invariant of Poincaré-Cartan. (Sections 44-45 1)
11. Huygens’ principle. (Section 46 1)
12. Hamilton’s equations. (Sections 47-48 1)
13. Action-angle variables. (Sections 49-50 1)
14. Averaging. (Sections 51-52 1)
